Monsters Inc. Opening Sequence Evaluation.

The film starts with happy, cheery music setting a happy scene straight away. This shows the focus on monsters because they are coming out of the doors at the beginning. The plot is outlined almost immediately, the monsters need to scare the children in order to get their screams however they cannot touch children, this contradicts with the stereotype of children being scared of monsters. They should not leave the doors open, as was mentioned in the film, the fact that this was outlined suggests this will happen later on in the film and will cause an issue.
This film is a pixar film, suggesting good quality. The title and characters are bright and colourful, this intrigues the audience as it something good for children to look at. The difference in all of the characters allows children to evaluate them and choose their favourite, there is a monster for everyone!
All young children think that there is 'a monster in the closet', so the fact that a monster pops out of the closet, contradicts with this.
The pace is not too fast, which makes it easy for children to follow and as there is no major edits the film runs through smoothly. The dialogue is clear and is spelt out for the audience making it easy to understand.
The genre is fantasy and also adventure making this a hybrid genre.
